Applied Biomedical Science (NHS placement)

About this course

Applied biomedical science is the laboratory-based health profession responsible for the analysis of patient samples in clinical laboratories. Biomedical scientists investigate blood, tissue, urine and other biological materials to diagnose disease, monitor treatment and screen for conditions that have not yet caused symptoms. They work in hospital laboratories across a range of specialisms, including haematology, blood transfusion, clinical biochemistry, microbiology, histopathology and immunology, and their findings inform the clinical decisions made by doctors and other healthcare professionals every day. At the University of Essex, the four-year full-time BSc includes an NHS placement, giving you extended experience of working in a clinical laboratory environment as part of the degree. This is a significant advantage, as it means you graduate with substantial practical experience al
